We wanted to let everyone know that we are going to be experiencing some downtime over the next week. Two of our hard drives on the servers went out. We are doing everything we can to remedy the problem and just wanted to let you know.

Ok, new update. The replacing of the hard drives is not going to happen, it's not going as well as planned.

JERIC is now building a new server for all the stations. If you would like to contribute something you can view the list of needed items here:

Of course help is always appreciated and we know you always do what you can.

All non-paypal donations will be added manually to the meter. I'm sure you noticed the increase this month for the meter, and it's because of the server.

Right now the biggest thing we need is your patience while we go through the process of building and installing the new server.
